Types of Listing Contracts
There are several different types of listing
contracts, but very few of them are used. The "Exclusive Right
to Sell" is the most common, but there is the "open listing,"
the "exclusive agency listing," and the "one-time show."

Details
of a Listing Contract
Obviously the name of the seller and the
property address will be included in the listing contract. There
are many other things that are included, too, and you should be
aware of them.

Listing Commissions and Issues
In most areas there is a customary percentage that real estate
agents expect to earn as a commission. When completing the
listing agreement, you and your agent will negotiate and agree
on the amount of the real estate commission.

Why Search
for A Realtor?
When someone decides it is time to sell their
home, they interview several Realtors from different
companies to determine which one is best for them. They want
someone who will represent them and someone they feel will
do an effective job at marketing their home. However, when
someone decides to buy a home, they usually end up with
their Realtor through sheer accident. Why donít homebuyers
search for a Realtor the same way that homesellers do?
